OZ COMIC-CON

Over the last few years there has been a steady rise in the popularity of the pop culture convention. Oz Comic Con Sydney was held over the weekend and we went along to check out the movie and TV star guests, the wares on sale by various exhibitors and artists and the ever increasing numbers of people cosplaying.

Fans turned out in force to see the stars at Oz Comic Con in Adelaide over the weekend, from Doctor Who's Billie Piper to Hercules' Kevin Sorbo and everything in between. Kerrie Geier was there for the AU review.

If you’re as obsessed with The Simpsons as I am, you may recall the Duff Gardens episode where one of the attractions is a Line Ride. This is how I felt about Oz Comic-Con. Don’t get me wrong, there were some amazing elements to the weekend, you just had to wait for all of them. This status quo was established well before anyone who wasn’t fortunate enough to secure one of the very few cars spaces at Glebe Island even arrived. As novel (and pretty) as it is to catch a ferry to a convention, it certainly takes a chunk of time out of your day.
